turdday

very tedious and slow today. work stuff, as per usual - all ok. personal stuff - sad news and further car delays for blake.
grrrr...going to la tomorrow and looking forward to it. heading off to yoga.
haunted by bloody sunday still. i read too much of the news today.
no tv tonight. period.
blake to be here later on.
i need to be of use, a project. we are both in limbo. simon took out a can of whup ass on the yard. christ, he cleared a dead tree out and pruned the front yard. i KNOW he is tense.
so we take a stroll now. great walk last night. 4 miles across town. v.nice.
overcast and chilly. yuch.

Bloody Sunday

watched this important film last night. gut wrenching and brought on the tears for both of us. started researching this morning on the web and read a stirring interview with Ivan Cooper, the MP portrayed by James Nesbitt in the film.
reeling off the names of those killed in the march made me ill and i dreamed about northern ireland last night and the Easter Uprising. along with U2
i know a part of it is pop culture and history is quasi at best, but i am quite disturbed today. trying to make sense and understand what happened in Derry and why is like trying to understand Waco. it haunts the back of our collective mind and makes me so sad.
